Royal Zayka — Restaurant in Chilliwack

"Outstanding Dining Experience at Royal Zayka!

Our group of four, including a wheelchair user, recently dined at Royal Zayka in Vedder Chilliwack, and we were thoroughly impressed!

Upon arrival, dinner time, quite busy at the moment, the lady hostess greeted us with a warm smile and professionally guided us to our table. She expertly positioned the wheelchair and guest chairs, ensuring our comfort and accessibility.

We were immediately welcomed with:

Complimentary Papadum (a delightful touch!) Refreshing welcome water

Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. The menu offerings were diverse, and we opted for:

Butter Chicken: Creamy, rich, and utterly delicious! The tender chicken was cooked to perfection in a velvety tomato sauce, infused with subtle spices and herbs. Expertly made!

Lamb Roganjosh: My absolute favorite! The lamb was tender, flavorful, and fell apart easily. The sauce was a masterful blend of spices, with a depth of flavor that left me craving more.

Mango Curry: A sweet and savory delight! The mango added a luscious twist to the traditional curry, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

Fish Tikka: Succulent, juicy, and perfectly marinated. The fish was cooked to perfection, with a delightful char on the outside.

Throughout our meal, our server checked in regularly, ensuring:

Water glasses were always full Our needs were met We were satisfied with our dishes

Every dish was expertly prepared, presented, and bursting with flavor! The spice levels were perfectly balanced.

What truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding service:

Friendly and accommodating staff Prompt attention to our needs Impressive knowledge of the menu

Royal Zayka's commitment to accessibility, excellent cuisine, and exceptional service earns them a well-deserved 5 stars!

Highly Recommended!

Asked owner for 2 tea, one samosa platter, one pakora platter. This guy straightly said you have to order main course otherwise I can’t serve. When we told him that it’s not mentioned anywhere in your menu plus we can order food as per our choice but being unprofessional, arrogant & rude this guy said if you don’t order main course I won’t serve. He said table setting ( Napkins & cutlery) takes cost when they serve food on table so if we are only ordering Tea & Snacks he won’t serve. I am sure he told us this because we were Indian. My first time experience in this restaurant & I was SHOCKED. He was bragging about his experience about Restaurants where he worked. Really man !! Where did you learned pathetic customer service, firstly you have learn how to greet & talk to being a restaurant owner.

After this whole drama, We asked him to make our food order to go but later surprisingly food came on table by another server. Wow man, how can you take any decision on behalf of consumer without his agreement. I was literally pissed off because he was taking every decision as per his convince. Later we order main course & food was good in taste . Bill came on table before we could order desserts. Asked lady server for desserts, again GULAB JAMUN was good in taste. Final bill came by manual calculation of desserts. Tax & amount of dessert handwritten over the previous bill.

To my surprise this server who was acting arrogant was the Owner of Restaurant. Dear friend hopefully you see this message & can put word “PROFESSIONALISM” in your service. You are not suppose to argue with guest who came to give you business when you had no guest in your restaurant. If you have any minimum order policy put this in your menu & inform this to customer politely. Being a businessman & coming from rich culture of India, you have put Indian culture “ATITHI DEVO BHAVA” means “CUSTOMER IS EQUAL TO GOD FOR BUSINESS” in your restaurant.

Updated 2018-08-09 Dined in for an early dinner before hanging out with Jason Statham & his big friend, Meg 🤣 Beautiful, flavourful dishes, this time trying the Tandoori chicken that arrives at the table piping hot on a cast iron plate, plus a custom coconut vegetarian curry dish, along with our usual butter chicken. Definitely a great place for delicious Indian, with attentive service and really good pricing. // Clean & culturally attractive decor. Friendly service by our waiter Vik & because I was curious, he informed me of the differences between North Indian (what they specialize in) vs South Indian cuisine (much spicier). While dining on our appetizers, we noticed the consistent orders & pickups via SkipTheDishes, giving us the idea of takeouts in the future. Informed by Vik that Pakora is traditionally prepared in a larger ball, then sliced before frying, and is not typically served in small ball-sized pieces. The Samosa is prepared with corn flour so it’s friendly to customers with gluten-free allergies (though I can’t speak to any strict adherence to cross-contamination in the kitchen). Impressed that Vik came by to ask if we were ready for our entrees, didn’t expect that level of service. He came around with warmed up plates. Our butter chicken, rice and chick pea flour naan bread were flavourful. Though if you don’t have to eat gluten-free, I’m confident the recommended cheese naan or other naan breads would be yummier than the one we had 😜 Truly enjoyed our first dining experience at Royal Zayka, and will dine in again soon or even try...
